In his memoir, It's All About the Hair: My Decade With Diana, Richard Dalton recalls the extraordinary period when he styled Princess Diana's hair. From stressful moments to hilarious memories with Prince William and Prince Harry, the celebrity hairdresser had a front-row seat to royal history. Speaking to Marie Claire ahead of his August 30 book signing event in Richmond, Virginia with Renae Plant—co-writer of the book and founder of the Princess Diana Museum—Dalton shares some of his favorite behind-the-scenes moments, including one surprising beauty fact about the royal.
Plant—who recently won Princess Diana's famous Caring Dress for $400,000 at auction—is close friends with Dalton, and during our conversation pointed out that the hairstylist once told her Diana "never used a makeup artist," a revelation she finds "found really interesting."
